Recent English volumes have come out about every 4 months. The English edition runs about 9.9 years behind Japan. How we predict

Hayate the Combat Butler in English so far

The English edition started with Vol. 1 on Nov 21, 2006 from Viz Media. In the 19.8 years since, 49 volumes have come out — one about every 5 months on average. The pace has picked up lately, with recent volumes about every 4 months. The longest wait was 9 months, between Vol. 43 and Vol. 44.

Japan is at Vol. 52 (Jun 16, 2017), so 3 volumes are already out in Japan but not yet in English. At the current English pace, releasing those would take about 12 months.
